William Cronon’s Changes in the Land – Indians, Colonists and the Ecology of New England, depicts the changes that occurred in New England after the arrival of the Europeans. It not only provides a detailed account of the changes that took place from a historical point of view, but also from an ecological pint of view – meaning it not only paints a picture of how the European settlers changed the lives of New England’s Indian inhabitants, but it also clearly shows how the arrival of the…

Having accumulated, then, twenty years of experiential knowledge living in Fall River, I thought I knew more about the city than – it turns out – I do. The way that I know Fall River, and the way that I portray my home town to others, is as a large, diverse, economically-challenged, dead end city. This does not paint the…

Baroque art, however, the incarnated grace of their physical appearance and movements exercises a powerful fascination that relates to their adolescent and androgyny. The Christian angels of the 17th century are the metamorphosed descendants of Greek erotes, Roman cupids, and Renaissance putti. Like their ancestors, they act from love and arouse love; their eroticism touches the senses yet passes through them and transcends them, in a dynamic like the one that leads the devotee of the corporeal…

The argument, however, is continuous throughout the novel in the form of references to Providence that illustrate the extension of Equiano’s experience of Providence- and implied selection by God- to others.
